Great
It was night of 2nd Aug 2023(Day - Wednesday). I set out for station and was at Jind Junction at around 10:30 PM itself. I had booked a ticket in 19411/SBIB(Sabarmati Ahmedabad)-DLPC(Daulatpur Chauk)(famously known as Jaipur-Chandigarh Express) which was running on time so its scheduled arrival @JIND JN was at around 02:30 AM.

As I was waiting; I saw departures of 16787/TEN-SVDK @23:20, legendary 12137/Punjab Mail(towards FZR) @23:48 AND 12455/DEE-BKN @00:30. It was a rainy day and all these trains came drenched in train as I saw the water pouring down from

end of each coach.
As rain started to slow down there came arrival of another legend 14035/Dhauladhar Express(DEE-PTK)(Should be shifted back to its earlier terminal DLI for ease of movement). Good thing? All trains running on time!!

Now as I prepared myself for another hour of bore-ness; turned out it wasn't meant to be. I was bored for around half an hour and was just roaming on the station until a freight came to a screeching halt on 3rd(from the platform) loop line.

After sometime I saw a green signal on the 2nd loop line and it intrigued me as to why this signal turned green. I was just puzzled at First by looking at that green signal ЁЯШВЁЯШВ

It became visible from a distance. Headlight of this trains loco fell on the freight standing on the loop line to it. It gave a good visibility of freight from where I was standing on the platform because it reflected the light falling on it.
Not having an idea I just looked at my phone. It was 01:35 AM 3rd August 2023 DAY - THURSDAY. I connected the dots: freight halted-green-passenger train will skip. As soon as I got hit with the apprehension I thought; ok its going to be painful to see but its alright.
As I was watching I knew before it came in front of me. It was 20985/KOTA-UHP Weekly. This train should be given a stoppage instead of skip at this station ЁЯЩДЁЯЩД. As the train skipped I recorded it and cherished the moment.

Now It was time for my trains announcement but I had another surprise waiting; THE RETURN of legend 12138/Punjab Mail(towards CSMT). Just after 12138 announcement 19411 trains arrival was announced on platform no. 4. As 12138 arrived 19411 trains loco was visible. I boarded 19411 I was happy that it was on time and saw 12138 departing on time too. Reached Chandigarh on time too.

Some observations:
1. This route needs more Ludhiana and Chandigarh bound trains. UMB route is already very congested
2. Stations should be given proper lighting.
3. Coach indicators not installed are a big problem. Should be installed as soon as railway can.

PS: How do I remember so much? I had noted it.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
